The Major

The construction management major prepares students to manage critical issues as the industry evolves to deliver more resilient infrastructure (e.g., airports, bridges, dams, new forms of water recovery/recycling, roads, water distribution and treatment) and sustainable commercial, housing, and infrastructure projects. Construction managers are expected to bridge the gap between architects, communities, engineers, owners, regulatory agencies, suppliers, and trades in public and private sectors.
